"As much as I value your faith in me, sister, I hope you understand that life isn't so black and white. I may not be a medicine cat...therefore I am fine living with that knowledge. There is a path I can take...just as there is one for you to take. You just have to find it." Sweetsong murmured. She watched Fallenwish as she caught herself a fish, and she purred, "A nice catch."


Her fishing was a tad different, and Sweetsong let herself rest on her belly, her forelegs slipping into the water up to her elbows. Her haunches were anchored, but Sweetsong held a face of concentration for a moment, and then she relaxed visibly, "I let the fish decide." She whispered, "I keep my paws just a mouse-length apart, claws sheathed so I don't prick them..." She felt the slippery bodies pass and swish around her paws, but only when she felt one linger, did she slowly release her claws, and she clapped her paws together, sending a spray of water up into the air, but as Sweetsong pulled herself away from the water, she held a fish between her paws, grasped with the small claws on either side. It still flopped and flailed, but she held tight, setting it on the grass and holding it there with a paw.

Her eyes closed, and she bent her head to whisper, "I'm sorry for taking your life...but it isn't without reason." Just as the last of the fight left it, and it stopped moving. Sweetsong looked up at Fallenwish, "A couple more, and then we can head home, yes?"
